Are you a single women dreading once again another year “being single” during the holidays? And during this festive holiday time you feel frustrated, while nursing thoughts of:

What are you gonna tell those nosey relatives who definitely mean well, but always ask “why aren’t you married yet?”

Where are you going to do to occupy your time to avoid feelings of loneliness because you do not have the special someone in your life?

When will day come for me to bring my guy to the family Holiday vacation?

As you contemplate on how to approach the holidays this season, it is very important to celebrate during this season in a way feel comfortable for you as a single person, whether you have that special someone in your life or not.

As you begin to see all the commercialism, decorations and your ears are bombarded with songs of holiday cheer, let the following holiday do’s and don’ts guide you.

Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author of The Best Yes, Unglued, Made to Crave, and 16 other books, and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries is back at it again with her brand new book, Uninvited.

In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences of rejection, including the incredibly painful childhood struggle of being abandoned by her father.

Uninvited examines the roots of rejection, as well as its ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God.

With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa promises to help us:

Stop feeling left out by believing that even when we are overlooked by others we are handpicked by God.

Change our tendency to either fall apart or control the actions of others by embracing God-honoring ways to process our hurt.

Know exactly what to pray for the next ten days to steady our souls and restore our confidence in the midst of rejection.

Overcome the two core fears that feed our insecurities by understanding the secret of belonging.
